Minecraft adds a new dimension called The Sift, with Mojang planning to release it across both Minecraft Java and Bedrock Editions in 2027. The announcement also places the timing after the game’s Frozen Caves update.
Across outlets, the main difference is the release path rather than the destination. Engadget reports The Sift debuts first in Minecraft Dungeons 2 later this month, and then later comes to the main Minecraft base game. PCGamesN likewise describes The Sift arriving for both Java and Bedrock in 2027, but focuses more on the significance of it being the first new dimension since Minecraft 1.0.
Together, the reporting indicates that The Sift is part of a staged rollout beginning with Minecraft Dungeons 2 and culminating in Minecraft’s base editions in 2027, following the Frozen Caves update.
